I can't remember for sure. I just remember it was much more than I had remembered them selling for.

 

[evolved]

I believe it was $1900

Pretty sure you're thinking of piscilineatus? Different species.

 

[saltyhog]

Yup those were nice to just way out of my price range.

Didn't see them on DD ... what did they sell for?

Yep, you're right

Not necessarily too sweet. They can be pretty aggressive with other fairy and flasher wrasses.

Which Halichoeres is this? The fish store said Melanurus, but it lacks distinct striping on the back, it's faint.

Sorry to hear that Hunter, next time get one from us. If i get them again that is..
I believe all three that i sent out are doing well except one that i heard jumped out of a small gap in back of tank :(
FYI i had the second wave of them.

Nice.
P. hemitaeniatus.
I had the first one from this wave collection wave that made it alive to the states about 6 months ago now. Unfortunately one of the other fish in the box the vendor sent me had velvet too, and I didn't have that specimen for long. :(

Here's another one for you guys, also Halichoeres. This one has a few iridescent golden stripes running along the body's length.

Hey wrasse gurus.... would you consider giving both common and scientific names together for those of us following along and trying to memorize both...
It would help I think...
JMO. Ty in advance for considering it...

Thank you! I was trying to tag you also but it wasn't working. How big will this guy grow, I can't seem to find any information, probably barely over 2 inches currently.
